Kyle XY. I'm still pissed off at the abrupt cliffhanger ending.
The OA and Sense8... Netflix, you suck. Those were stunning shows.
FTR: I agree that Sense8 was a great show. But I disagree that it was Netflix who killed it. It was the creators insisting on a globe trotting production. They priced themselves out by being unwilling to compromise that. And I say this as a fan who enjoyed seeing the actual exotic locales rather than trying to pass off northern Vancouver as Iceland.
(But I also feel the need to trash The OA. That was a great show, but the ending sucked. I have never been so pissed off at a season finale than that. That ending killed the show, not Netflix. You can’t piss off that many fans and expect to get invited back.)
That OA ending was insane, in a good way, what are you talking about about?
FTR: I just now realized there was a second season. I was unaware. I thought it only had one season. So it’s the first season ending I’m referring to.
Although I don’t have much intention of watching second season as the first season ending really put me off the show. I just felt like it was a slap in the face to spend so long invested in a show to have the season end on such a bullshit note.
Netflix's two-season reputation means they are not to blame when yet another showrunner pretends they're gonna get a third. You know damn well you're not doing Stranger Things numbers. It's on you to provide a satisfying endpoint, or you're just pissing people off and pointing fingers.
